Abstract

A golf training system for conditioning a golfer to keep his head down and straight during a full golf swing by alerting the golfer after the execution of each swing whether said previous swing was performed properly, comprising a cord, said cord having a proximal end and a distal end, a mouthpiece, said mouthpiece secured at the proximal end of said cord, and a fastening assembly, said fastening assembly secured to the distal end of the cord. The mouthpiece is grasped within the mouth of the golfer, and the fastening assembly then secured to an article of the golfer's clothing such that the cord located between said fastening assembly and the mouthpiece is semi-taught when the golfer's head is fixed in a straight, downward position. After execution of the swing, if the fastening assembly has disengaged the golfer's clothing, the golfer is alerted that the execution of his swing was faulty in that he improperly lifted or turned his head.
